  • High performance; swri_console handles receiving thousands of logs per second and storing millions in memory while staying responsive
  • Ctrl or shift-click to quickly select which nodes you want to monitor
  • Hide or show log messages based on substring matches, or, if you need more power, regular expressions
  • Hide, show, and colorize log messages based on severity
  • Save and load log messages to text files
  • Save and load log messages directly from the /rosout topic in a bag file
  • Right-click on nodes to dynamically set their logger levels
    • Not supported in ROS 2 yet
